purdy ! bet it won`t look like dat when ya get back

Well, that is a nice looking rig. A few things for thought Al.......

* With a 6 inch lift, that is a high center of gravity. Be very wary going down obstacles.
* That winch mount as low as it is will kill your approach angle and you are going to beat it up on the rocks.
* That rear bumper guard or whatever it is is going to kill your departure angle and will get beat up (if not knocked off) also.

Killer looking rig but probably needs some adjustments. Just my .02.

Very nice looking rig but as Mike stated, be careful. When I had a 6 inch I never did any off road wheeling, but I would get stoned and drive over stuff. They get tipsy, quick. Also, with most 6 inch lifts, I find their clearance to be less than the 3" lifts. So obstacles could be an issue, but judging by that bumper.. If that thing clears it, you should be fine. Great rig though, it looks boss.

Thanks for the insight fellas and opinions are always welcomed as I trying to learn the off road in/outs...

My past passion was heads up racing and wheeling is the complete opposite of that to say the least.


I am wide open for suggestions on suspension that will best fit the needs of hitting the trails hard at all events.

Let me have me boys...... it's only money!!!!

P.S. Wil buy beer and help wrench with those that are willing to teach/help out with installing mods.

You guys are gonna have a blast. Be on the lookout for Brad (TinCan). He will be coming from Hammond and is convoying with Jacque and the Dallas crew. He has a sweet all black TRD. He has my SWR meter to tune his CB. If he meets up with you guys he may give it to you to bring back to me.

Oh I am certainly jealous of his exploits as of late. But I don't hate him for it.......just envious.
